The Tribological Study on Metallic Materials Which Had Undergone Surface Preparations Using Pin-on-Disc Testing Technique

The objective of this „Progress Report‟ is to compile all the works and progress done by the student up to this point of the tribological study on metallic materials. It is to have a better understanding of the effect of wear and tear on metallic materials used either in the industries, automotives or even everyday use. Types of other materials or elements used as the rubbing surface, load and the time frame will be used considered as among the most important aspect that will affect the results of this project. The collection of technical details and data regarding the wear and tear of the metallic materials used will be done. At the end of this project, the results will give a better overview and understanding of the tribological study itself. A simple ‘Pin on Disc’ test will be carried out to determine the wear and tear rate of the metallic materials chosen for this project. Three materials will be chosen specifically and its surface will be prepared under three different categories. All three samples will be tested under these three different surface conditions.
